“Okay! Let’s go home.”

“Haai!”

“Nn.”

We’ve been hunting Lizardmen since then. We hadn’t counted them, but there were a lot of them. We moved to the place where we were meeting with the coachman.

“Oh! You’re here.”

“Please take care of us.”

“Oh!”

And like that we made our way back to the capital after our first overnight quest.

“Here’s your reward, 92 silver coins.”

“Thank you very much.”

“And with this quest, your rank has been raised to C. Congratulations.”

“Oh!”

We were given new silver guild cards because we had risen in rank.

“Well, let’s go get the Lizardmen cleaned and dressed.”

“Okay.”

“Nn.”

Then we handed over 31 Lizardmen and got 100 silver coins, a little more than we had in the past. We also split a quarter of the money for this quest per person and used the rest as party funds.

“Well then, see you the day after tomorrow.”

“Nn.”

Then Sophie and I parted ways with Shana and went home.

“Can I ask you guys something?”

“Hmm? Alright 』\ (Ziel)

“What’s wrong?』\(Ygg)

And now after my, midnight training was over, it was time to have a conversation with the spirits.

“How strong are the two of you in terms of demon rank?”

After easily defeating the Lizardmen, I reasoned that a C-rank would be simple to defeat. However, I was curious as to how powerful the Ziel who could play with me was.

“Hmm… am I about SSS rank』\

“Then is Ygg unmeasurable?』\

Too OP… No wonder I’m being played around with…

“…By the way, do you know how strong I am now?”

“It’s hard to say for sure because it depends on compatibility and so on, but I think you’re as strong as S rank.』\

“Oh!”

I’m starting to feel like I’m strong.

“By the way, how would you compare an S rank to a monster in an easy-to-understand manner?”

“You can manage to beat a wyvern by yourself, but you’re no match for a dragon.』\

“Is that so?”

“Dragons have hard scales, so it’s meaningless to do anything without a certain amount of attack power. But if it were its eyes, it might work!』\ (Ziel)

“You can fight a wyvern, but if you run into a dragon, just think about running, okay?』\ (Ygg)

“Roger that.”

It looks like I’m no match for the dragon on my own. I might as well start looking for a legendary sword that’s stuck somewhere. I hope they have a set of two for me. Leaving that aside, I decided to ask one more thing that was bothering me.

“How does a spirit benefit from making a contract with a human?”

When I heard how strong Ziel and Ygg were, I thought, there would be absolutely no advantage to signing up with me when they were at least SSS rank by themselves.

“Is there an advantage?』\ (Ygg)

“No.』\

“No?!” (Zeros)

“The spirit world we live in is rich in nature, but there’s nothing but nature and we have free time, so we make contracts with humans.』\ (Ziel)

“Killing time …”

“That’s why if we think the person we’ve signed a contract with is the worst kind of trash, we’ll just cancel the contract.”  (Ygg)

“I’ll be careful.”

“Oh! I’m not going to cancel the contract with the Zero-Kun now, so don’t worry.』\(Ygg)

“Thank you?”

I’m curious about the word “now”, but I guess if I stay as I am, for now, my contract won’t be canceled.

“I liked where Ziel lived.』\

“What kind of place did you live in?”

“I lived in a place where lightning always struck.』\(Ziel)

“Hmm?”

“It feels good to be hit by so much lightning and stepping on the thunderweeds is good for massaging the soles of your feet. Do you want to come sometime, Zero-Kun?』\ (Ygg)

“Um…no thanks…”

I don’t like the idea of being struck by lightning for the second time as it’s my cause of death. I thought we were talking about rich nature. Is lightning a part of nature’s riches?

“I mean, can I go there too?”

“Oh, no, not yet. You’ll have to wait a bit longer. When you can, I’ll show you around a lot!』\

“Oh, thank you …”

“You’re welcome!』\

I don’t think I want to go there, but Ygg is 100% kind enough to show me around, so I couldn’t refuse. After that, I went to bed and had a dream that a lot of lightning was coming down on me. I had a bad dream, but the next day passed without any problems, and it was my first day at the school in a long time, it was also the day I met with the 10 members of the competition
